MC: They are also in Old England in Paris. I tried Vetiver Bourbon last week, it is like a missing link between Creed’s 1940s Vetiver and Vetiver Extraordinaire, though it is nowhere near as good as either. Kind of generic.
I like Cuir d’Oranger, it is like an updated Habit Rouge (though as Guerlain has itself released the excellent Habit Rouge Light I don’t really see the point). October 10, 2005 at 3:03am
Laura: I like those of the new MH line I’ve tried but would like also to try their Eau Vert. October 10, 2005 at 5:44am
BoisdeJasmin: Mike, I much prefer the fragrances from the Nouvelle Line, although I find compositions to be fairly one-dimensional.
Habit Rouge Light is what I have on my to-try list when I am in Paris. I love the original, but I am very intrigued by the effervescent hesperidic accord I keep hearing about. October 10, 2005 at 9:48am
BoisdeJasmin: L, I tried most of them on the strip, but now I have samples of all, and I shall start proper testing at some point. October 10, 2005 at 9:53am
Marina: Vetiver Bourbon sounds interesting. Off to check descriptions on MH site. Your blog started so many of my lemmings, you are dangerous, V! 🙂 October 10, 2005 at 10:03am
BoisdeJasmin: M, me, dangerous? 🙂
Vetiver Bourbon is definitely interesting, if you like vetiver, although I can think of a few other ones I prefer over it. October 10, 2005 at 11:02am
Tara: I rather like Cuir d’Oranger and Jasmin Vert. I bought Figue Amere at Olde England in Paris last month and while I liked it at first, now it has a weird almost chocolate note that is somewhat disturbing. October 10, 2005 at 4:22pm
BoisdeJasmin: Tara, you are giving me an incentive to try Jasmin Vert, which has been sitting in my sample pile for the past 4 months untouched. I will try it and report back once I do. October 10, 2005 at 4:44pm
